It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Buckle up, because we are trading the icy tundra of Alaska for the tropical humidity of Hawaii, and the drama is only getting steamier. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the high-stakes world of craft beer where things aren’t always as "chill" as they seem. We start in Anchorage, exploring a brewery with a three-story view and a management team that handles wedding catastrophes with a side of confiscated booze. But that’s just the appetizer. We’re heading to the islands to investigate a "wind tunnel" brewery where forklifts are allegedly on a kidnapping spree, a server who literally threw cutlery at a child, and a legendary "Battle of the Menu" where a VP’s "talk story" invitation turned into a local legend's war over the loss of true Pub Favorites. From moldy strawberries to the mystery of the invisible Pork Fried Rice, we’re asking the tough questions: can a beer really taste good enough to make you overlook a face full of ranch dressing?Please take a moment of your time to subscribe, rate and review Exploring the Wine Glass.
